Words OF Cneer.

We cannot forbear giving place to the
following as received from an esteemed
friend and subscriber in one Of our South
ern states, who has been a faithful friend
of the MONITOR and it's crew from the
time it was first launched. For his words
of cheer and good will, we thank him
heartily, and in his wish for and belief in
the final triumph OF Prohibition, we are in
full accord with him. That is what We
are here for.

There does not appear to be any good reason
for announcing to the world that winter travel to
Florida has fallen off 10 an alarming extent.
Before making an announcement of that sort
the greatest care ought to he taken that it is ab
solutely correct. Tourists like to go where the
crowd goes. and il the impression gets abroad
even though incorrect, that Florida is foraker
by its usual crowds of winter visitors incalcula-
BILE harm will be done the State.
The Morning Neps, day or two ago, published
an interview with Colonel Elliott, the travelling
agent of the Plant System, in which he stated
that the travel TO Florida this season is as great
as ever it was. The Savannah, Florida and
Western has certainly carried as many passen-
gers thus far this season asst carried within the
same period during any previous season.
While it is doubtless true that as many visit
ors have not stopped at Jacksonville this season
as in other seasons, it doesn't follow that there
has been any falling off In the usual winter
travel to Florida. There are a dozen places
where visitors are entertained in the State now
where there was one few years ago, and visit
ors quickly become widely scattered Doubtless
later on Jacksonville will have her fair share of
visitors. 1t will be remembered that earlv last
year fears were entertained that the visitors
were not coming, but they made their appear.

The Adoanos- Gosefte, OF Pensacola, tAkes ex-
ception TO our claim Of starting the tobacco
movement. Never mind, we did start 1t, and
We intend 10 continue 70 direct It for the benefit
Of the people.-LGke Cay Reporter.
And the Tunes Union also claims pa
ternity AZ to the tobacco movement "
in the State. Meanwhile we have>s aid
nothing, but now we really must come to
the front and claim that to correspondent
of the FLoRIprAN belongs the chief honor
attaching to the revival of the tobacco in
dustry in Florida. About two years
ago we began the publication of the valu-
able series of articles on the culture and
cure of tobacco prepared for US by Mr..
G. Houghton, of Tallahassee, which were
continued during the session of the Leg
islature, and attracted widespread atten-
ton. The very large editions of the
FLoRIDIAN placed these articles before the
people of every portion of the State, and
since then there has been a constantly
growing interest in the culture of the
Virginia weed" The specific instrue-
tons contained in these articles were
commended by practical demonstration,
for Mr.. Houghton's success in previous
and succeeding crops of tobacco grown
here has been widely published. For
months after their publication ended or
ders were received for papers containing
the articles, and the demand continued
long after the editions were exhausted.
1t is this series of articles that we begin
to republish in to-day's paper, under the
title "a Money Crop" and which will
afterwards be printed in pamphlet form.

Would 900 pounds cotton seed, or stable maaure,
or cotton seed meal, 200 pounds acid ssd 100
pounds kainit per acre, in all l 200 pouads ocn-

nearest market to Sumter, s. c., for itf
8. Do you advise the planting of pecan tres
and English walnuts! Do you think it woph

8. What is the price of q Jack Are thOe
imported from Spain better than those raised n
the United States What is the usual price d
the imported Jacks?-BEaINNRR, CRdrlasA
&C.
ANSWER. Composts are the best
manures, and Furman's formula is as good
as any. You might begin with say 800
pounds per acre, and as the soil gets
deeper and the humus in it increases, from
judicious rotation or resting, you might
increase the amount of compost gradually
up to 2,400 pounds per acre. This
about the limit to which you can safely
go when manuring in the drill.
2. 1900 pounds of compost, where cot.
ton seed, or stable manure, or both, are
used in conjun ction with the phosphate
and kainit, would not be two much The
second year. But 900 pounds of meal IN
combination with the phosphate and kaint
would be excessive; 100 pounds Of meal
would be enough for those quantities Of
phosphate and kainit on fair land.
3. When stumps are hollow, they ms!
be bur1ed up easily; when solid, they
must either be dug up or shivered win

The Tines Union has stated that neither the
j., T. & K. w. Railway Company nor any Of its
officers own property in the city of Jacksonville.
The assertion was made with such assurance
that we did not know but il was true but on
inquiry we learn that it is without foundation in
fact. Both Mr.. Bentley and his road own pro-
perty in Jacksonville. Mr.. B. has been pro-
perty holder there for years. He sold, two
years ago, a handsome dwelling on the corner Of
Church and Hogan streets, to Col. Cockrell,
receiving therefor about $4,000, He also sold,
about a year ago, to the Christian Church people
there, another piece of property the corner OF
Pine and Bentley streets, for about $4,000. At
the present time Mr.. B. owns the house in which
Charley Bentley lives, the one In which Col.
Carter lives, which was built within the last two
years, and right opposite those houses is another
piece of property on which there is an older
house that Mr.. B. has held for several years.
The railroad company owns large piece of
ground on Bay street. just west of the bridge,
which can any day be utilized for freight de-
pot 1t was bought with that purpose This
property is, for the time being, leased to five or
six different parties who have built on it. but the
leases are all terminable at three months notice,
IN case the railroad wants the property for its
own use. This road also owns a tract of five or
six acres of valuable land at the point Of juno
ton with the s. F. s. W. Railway. 1t is no de-
tense for the 1U to state that this railroad pro-
perty and the last above referred 10 belonging to
Mr. Bentley, is just across the line in La Villa.
tor everybody knows that La Villa is as much q
e
part of his face.
We are utterly surprised ut the stupidity Of
the Times Union in this matter. The j., T. s. K
w. Railway is large property owner in Jack
sonville and so is its President. The absurdity
of the T-U.'s position in this matter is so up
parent that we need OF follow it further.

The surveying corps of the Column,

The surveying corps of the Columbus
and Florida Railroad reached this city
Thursday on the return trip from AL
bany. The line runs into the Georgia
Midland, where it crosses the Southwest
ern, OH the east commons. Two lines
have been run between Renfroe's, Just be-
low Cusseta, and Columbus. The one
running by Cusseta will probably be
adopted, though the work on both routes
is heavy. Only one line has been run
from Renfroe's to Albany, and on this the
work is comparatively light. Major
Greene, the chief engineer, informs us
that the cost of the Columbus and Florida
will be about the same as that Of the
Georgia Midland. The distance from
Columbus to Albany is eighty-fve miles.
